Mitterer was immediately taken to a quarantine hotel, as the Austrian Olympic Committee announced on Saturday. Teammates Treichl, Robert Eckschlager and Markus Glück were classified as contact persons. The contacts are allowed to remain in the Olympic Village, isolated from the rest of the team and tested twice a day. However, you can take part in the training under strict conditions. “In this way we create maximum security for the other two crews,” ÖOC chief physician Bernhard Unterkofler is quoted as saying in the broadcast. This refers to the teams around the pilots Benjamin Maier and Katrin Beierl. The first day of training on the track is February 10th.
Bob pusher Markus Sammer from the Maier team is no longer in quarantine. The 33-year-old has been in quarantine twice since arriving in China because he had repeatedly given positive as well as negative samples due to a fluctuating CT value. Sammer tested positive for the corona virus for the first time on January 8th at the World Cup in Winterberg.
